Neighbor calls Matt Cassel a hero after house fire

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel sprang into action late Thursday night when a neighbor’s house caught on fire, and he’s being hailed as a hero in the neighborhood.

When Cassel’s wife saw smoke and flames coming from a neighbor’s house, Cassel ran there, rang the doorbell and pounded on the door until the woman inside came out. The woman said she didn’t even realize her house was on fire until Cassel alerted her.

Heroism takes many forms. Sometimes it requires performing dangerous acts that put yourself in physical peril, sometimes it means standing up for what is right and risk your job, other times it’s as simple as alerting someone to danger. Many people would not have even done what Matt did and would’ve simply watched the house burn. So, yes, both he and his wife are Heros.

Matt Cassel and his wife are good humanitarians, however the Chiefs need to move on from you being the starting QB. No disrespect, but it time. it was a failed experiment.

If the Chiefs want to go to and advance in the playoffs they have to make a change at QB

Replay Terrell Suggs comments about the chiefs in the playoffs last year,and the Ravens talking about how the( qb can’t hang) and their soft. they’re not battle tested,they can’t with hang with us. unquote.

“he·ro
[heer-oh] Show IPA
noun, plural -roes; for 5 also -ros.
1. a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
2. a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he saved the drowning child.”

I find Matt Cassel to be horrendously overrated. I think he filled in on an outstanding Patriots team that made him look leaps and bounds better than he is. Just my opinion, but laying that out there to say this:

Absolutely, I would consider his actions heroic. Putting himself in any kind of danger to help a fellow person earns him that in my book.

“Finally a nfl player makes news for something good and not some late night drama at “insert issue here that happens at 2:30am”.”

Actually, every team is filed with guys who are pillars of the community and help kids, the sick, the homeless, etc. Those stories don’t generate “hits’, so they rarely make the news. Also, most of them – including Cassel who took no credit for himself – are modest about what they do. Just because the paparazzi doesn’t take pictures of these guys building a playground in a poverty stricken area, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Matt Cassell told anyone listening hes was NOT the hero. Just think. This could have taken place in Denver. Then there would have been a miniseries with the star telling his publicity machine to tell the world it was Gods will and he actually was a hero, and not just a hyped up ……… (fill in the blanks)

For all you people not paying attention –
NEIGHBOR calls Matt Cassel a hero, not media, not Matt himself, NEIGHBOR called him a hero. Put yourself in her shoes & what would you say to show your appreciation ?

Seems to me that the chiefs are headed in the right direction. Pope saves a kid from drowning, and Cassel saves a womans house from being burned to the ground. Now those are High Character people that i’m glad to root for on the field. Go Chiefs!

Really? You quote Terrell Suggs? How’s Baltimore’s QB? Didn’t Cassell go to the Pro Bowl and take the Chiefs to the playoffs in 2010? And, gee, Jamaal Charles might have helped this year (Moeaki too). Cassel is fine.

I am certain, that the actions of this man & his wife, saved the life of the home owner, as she said, she did not even realize the house was on fire. It does not take long to be overcome w/smoke inhalation, and lose consciousness (& ultimately die), the act of alerting her, was heroic.
Praise the Lord that these two ppl were there, when the homeowner needed someone.

This shows how far our society has fallen, that we recognize Matt cassel’s deed as heroic. While what Matt did was noble, hes not a hero. He did what a normal everyday person SHOULD do in that situation.

Did you watch last years playoff game, plus The Chiefs schedule vs Ravens,please not to mention Cassel only went because Brady turned it down and he was The only qb Who threw intercepyions in The pro bowl, goodness sake, face The music. Overrated, but a good competitor

What a bunch of synical, hypocrital people who have commented here in a sarcastic or negative fashion. Great society indeed when a pro athlete does something humane but we find the need to ridicule…no wonder the western world is in a mess….just saying!

All three AFC quarterbacks struggled, combining to throw six interceptions. Philip Rivers and Matt Cassel threw two apiece, with Peyton Manning adding one for good measure. Manning was completely ineffective in limited duties, completing just two passes for 12 yards and that interception.

Would be wise to check stats before trying to make a case. Cassel may never be an Elite QB. But he is a good QB. If we would keep a OC for more than a year he could develop. And last year wasn’t his fault. Keep up the Goo work Matt and GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!
